What if I don’t know the exact location of a record?

Don't worry if you don't know the exact location. Sometimes a story or history is about 'Croydon' generally and you could choose to 'pin' this on the map in Central Croydon or near the main train station, for example.

We would like records to be as accurate as possible, so we encourage research to find out locations as much as possible by our users as this resource can be used by academics and researchers.
